Beating the boys

June 5, 2012

“The first time you stick it to a boy that’s when you really get inspired to get going.”

-St Louis chess coach Carrie Lax

This US Chess Scoop video interviews female chess players and coaches talking about how they learned to play chess, why they love the game, and how we can get more women involved. I love this piece not only because there is a nice plug for our book Play Like A Girl, but also because it features a diverse group of women talking honestly about their experiences in the chess world.
